 A forger would as well, no?
Anyway, I found a fancy lab tool called a microtome.  It's used to slice tissue extremely thin for microscope analysis.  
It can slice something about 3 micrometers (μm) thick, which is amazing.  Plastic saran wrap is 10–12μm thick!
I had no idea this machine even existed.
